"La Isla Bonita" appears on Madonna's third studio album released in 1986. The song was initially created as an instrumental composition by two other artists for a different performer but was not accepted. Madonna subsequently took the track, wrote lyrics for it, and worked as a co-producer on the final version. The song represents Madonna's initial venture into Latin pop music, incorporating Latin musical elements and Spanish language vocals.

The song pays homage to Latin American people and references a fictional island location.
